Above Ground @ Occupy Wall Street 2011
As most of you know, despite the two weeks of media blackouts by mainstream, we, @ Occupy Wall Street have taken over what was formerly known as Zucotti Park – now re-named, Liberty Park and holding numerous marches and protests throughout the city. The largest of which was yesterday and was host to a dozen major US Labour Unions and over 10,000 demonstrators.
I spoke of this happening in “The Subway Diaries” – I foreshadowed it a few times as I observed the “Cracks in the Economy” and saw what it would lead to.
The movement has grown to include over 200 US cities and globally in multiple countries.
You can get more information on the movement and events in your city here: http://www.occupywallstreet.org
Yesterday’s march was filled with enormous energy and love until the cops did what they’ve been doing, relatively randomly and without much warning to us, a group of peaceful protesters. This particular incident was police violence against reporter Luke Rudkowski and won’t be shown by your local stations, of that you can be sure: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YXuvhg8Ahw&feature=youtu.be[/youtube]
